Phosphatidylinositol-hydrolysing enzymes in blowfly salivary glands (original) (raw)

Abstract

The salivary glands of adult blowflies (Calliphora erythrocephala) contain enzymes that hydrolyse phosphatidylinositol, predominantly by a Ca2+-independent deacylation, though a Ca2+-dependent phosphodiesterase (phospholipase C) activity could be detected. The deacylating enzymes could also hydrolyse phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and were secreted in the saliva. Homogenization of salivary glands prelabelled with [3H]inositol resulted in a rapid deacylation of the endogenous 3H-labelled phosphatidylinositol; this hydrolysis was unaffected by addition of 5-hydroxytryptamine to the homogenate.
